This why you DONT Cut! ! ! !
This is why you don't CUT your front Coil Springs....
Yes i did Cut the springs all four the back are fine but the front just look at the pics (WOW) I was turning and I herd this grinding sound from the front so i took off the tires and the coil spring pop't out of the top coil holder thing: Good thing the junkyard had two PT cruiser the front struts with coil was $45. each so yes i bought two now my front is back to stock until i buy a set of front lowering springs... LESSON LEARNED!!!!!

Re: This why you DONT Cut! ! ! !
Hey their 02PT,
Yep, I remember back when you first posted on this mod, and was afraid something like that would happen. Here was the Link: Well I did it! ! Sorry to hear about what happened, but glad to hear you weren't hurt! It really could have become a serious situation in a heartbeat! Chopping Springs can really become an extremely dangerous deal in a hurry if its not done correctly! Also sorry we couldn't work things out, but sounds like you got it under control, and a good deal.  Anyways, go easy, drive safe, and I'll catch ya later. Candyman

Re: This why you DONT Cut! ! ! !
when you first posted, I stayed away from making a comment and could only think, "well good luck with that". I did that on an Olds Cutlass convertible and hit a good bump and blew out both from springs! Scared me sh%tless... I'll never cut one again...

Yeah, I read when you cut the springs, and resisted saying "not a good idea"..
